Green was given a flagrant foul late in the game against the
Rockets when his flailing leg connected with the head of James
Harden during a shot attempt.Houston earned two points and
possession of the ball in their 132-127 double overtime win over
the Warriors, who had their 12-game winning streak snapped.The
play was the latest for Green who has been repeatedly penalized
for his frequent high kicks."I just laugh at it," Green told the
Mercury News. "It's funny how you can tell me how I get hit and
how my body is supposed to react."I didn't know the league
office was that smart when it came to body movements. I'm not
sure if they took kinesiology for their positions to tell you
how your body is going to react when you get hit in a certain
position."Green also hit out at the movements by Harden, who is
among the league's leaders in free throws attempted per game."No
offense to James Harden, but I've never seen nobody up until
James started doing it that shoots a layup like this under your
arm (sweeps arms in a demonstration)," Green said. "That's
really not a natural act either.
"If you're going to take unnatural acts out the game, then let's
lock in on all these unnatural acts and take them out the game."
